Re: Getting that first gig
The main thing with character artists, is that there's usually very few of them compared to environement artists. There's always so much more that needs to be built for the environment. That's where your bottleneck is. You usually have to come in as an environment artist and wait for your opening, though, there are the… -
Re: Rendering Lowpoly normalmaped Char
well daz, that kind of annoyances usually are the price to pay for flexibility, i guess. or maybe it's god's punishment, dunno. i guess the usual maya workaround for this is called a technical artist or tool developer anyway i never understood why maya is considered "game-dev enabled", look once at how it handles key… -
[WIP] Major Motoko Kusanagi - Ghost in the Shell 1995
So I started this project a few months ago in order to fully follow a AAA character production from scratch. My computer not being that powerful, I sort of started off at a PS4-like objective in quality, with options to upscale it with a subdivision later to match today’s standards. For now, I have done the sculpt, the… -
Max Workflow Question
Hey all, I'm working on building a level in UDK, I usually end up hitting wall (often due to other projects, usually school related), but now I have a bit of time to actually work on a level for my portfolio, and I want to do it right. I'm working up a level document, gathering reference and starting some initial modeling.… -
Re: Experimenting with RTX lighting ??
Ok so there are a couple of things: - Ray tracing in realtime uses heavy denoising on some passes, because otherwise it would require hundreds of samples which would cause 1 fps or less instantly. Global illumination is the most critical one here. Cast shadows only needs a lot of samples when the penumbra is large, and… -
Re: Head Study Michael B Jordan Ref - Critique
Good one from Panda. You have a couple of issues in the above shots. Looks like you are sculpting on a dynamesh. There are loads of vids that show this method, but they are usually made by experienced artists. When you start sculpting straight away on a dense mesh it gives you a lumpy result. Starting from a low resolution… -
Re: Bill Gates: Better than Batman? (Large image warning)
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or whatever but him giving away lots of money does not necessarily make him a better person. When celebrities give away money for charity it's usually also for another cause; self-promotion. They want to be loved and gain new fans so by doing these kind of stuff they improve their… -
Re: [Finished Character] King of Thorn
@Asura Thanks for the post. That was actually an area I had debated on for a while deciding what looked more normal, the reason I had deviated from the concept was I had looked at photos of individuals with larger than average muscles (like the concept) and found that usually the bone is usually hidden under the pectorals… -
Re: (Student) Gun texturing project
For the most part your materials are pretty solid and I'm really digging them. However there are spots where the light is shining on the surfaces and the spec mat is just a perfect highlight. I'd try adding some subtle cloudy texture to the spec or gloss, something to just barely offset the perfection. And in regards to… -
Re: sketches to line art?
Something that I used when I felt like drawing in Photoshop, when I didnt have access to a tablet but stubbornly wanted to draw anyway, was to increase the canvas a lot... draw however I like... and then downsize it in the end. I would use Bilinear or Bicubic interpolation. I would usually draw in a canvas 4x bigger than…
